Good day to all of us. Our topic for today is all about Misty Truth about Tears.

All human being cry. From the womb to the tomb, tears have become a part of people's lives. Babies cry for a variety of reasons; air bubble, colic, aer pain, fatigue, hunger, physical hurt, indigestion, and wetness. Children scream when they lose a fight. Sympathetic adults shed tears when touched by a tender scene. Some suitors become tear-eyed upon hearing the sweet sound of YES from the lady they are wooing. In moments of triumph, winners burst into tears. When teased or scolded, sensitive individuals sob. The sick and broken-hearted cry out of pain and anguish. Others mourn the loss of their loved ones.

Tears as Protection

Tears are an expression or results of intense emotion. But they also an important part of the humans body protective mechanism. Tears are small drops of fluid secreted by the two lachrymal glands located behind each person's eyelids. These glands squeeze out their salty solution through small ducts in the underside of the eyelid. Each time the eyelid blinks, it sucks a little fluid from the glands. This fluid then bathes the cornea, the transparent front part of the eyeballs outer coat. Without the moisture provided by these fluids, the eyeball would rub so painfully on the inside lining in the eyelid. Tears also wash away foriegn particles in the eye such as dust, hair and other minute particles. When the eye is irritated tears overflow.

Tears also contain proteins that help make our sight organ immune to infection. It also has a mild germicide called lysozyme that kills bacteria and other potentially harmful microbes.

Many physicians believe that it was who said that all of us should cry once in a while for our healths sake.

Tears as Expression

Tears promote the health of our eye. But their release also helps develop our emotional and social well-being. Children normally cry when afraid or hurt. But it has been a tradition among many families to make boys ashamed or showing pain or fair. Since crying is considered unmanly, boys tend to repress and deny all kinds of feelings, including tenderness. This impedes their ability to establish a wholesome relationship with family members, friends and fellow workers.

Suppressed grief could also affect one's nervous system. When a person experience fervid emotion such as grief or great joy, the muscles around the lachrymal glands tighten up and squeeze copious tear fluids. So when you feel like crying, allow yourself to cry. These lachrymal glands and the tears stored in them are natural parts of human beings placed there for a purpose. They are to protect our eyes and provide us a means of expressing our most intense emotions.

That some truth about tears.

Honestly, I didn't know that we can even benefit from crying. I'm talking about how it affects the health positively. Crying gives me headache though. And I love what you said that it is normal to cry. We are human beings with emotions so it is very normal for us to cry whenever we feel bad or when we are not feeling too good. We can't escape it.
